Menopause 200g vital-i-TEA Organic Herbal Tea
What it does:
vital-i-TEA Menopause Organic Herbal Tea contains herbs which have a traditional role in the treatment of menopause, with the addition of phyto-oestrogens that have a supportive role during hormonal transition.
The change of life for middle-aged women can present time old unpleasant symptoms of mood swings, depression, water retention, night sweats and hot flushes. While the option of HRT is less desirable, given recent research, the options in the field of natural medicine have a lot to offer both in addressing causes due to hormonal imbalances and the symptoms of these changes, as the body re educates itself towards a state of hormonal balance which will inevitably occur in due time.
What is in it?
- Sage - has two roles for those women undergoing the change of menopause. It reduces sweating and the severity and frequency of hot flushes (which are in fact due to a rush of hormones through the bloodstream). The essential oils found in Sage are also wonderful for the treatment of sore, dry throats, Laryngitis, pharyngitis and tonsillitis. The essential oils exert strong antiseptic properties and therefore are very immune supportive, as well-being carminative to ease any digestive imbalances.
- Red Clover - the pretty red dried flowers of Red Clover are a rich source of phyto-oestrogens that balance out the hormones during this time of transition. Because it is the hormone imbalance that causes menopausal symptoms, Red Clover helps alleviate any menopausal symptoms, thus making it an essential herb to use. Red Clover is also used for its general cleansing ability to the body. It works on cleansing the lymphatics, thus supporting immune system and skin. It also eliminates excess fluid. The isoflavones contained in Red Clover are biochanin, genistein, daidzein and formononetin. These are rich in the diet of cultures who don't experience as debilitating menopausal symptoms (eg. Asian women), and are low in the western diet. Thus increasing the intake of these active constituents contained in Red Clover is also another pathway that helps relieve menopausal symptoms.
- Lemon Balm - had a reputation in folk medicine to 'lift the spirits and make them soar'. These days research has confirmed this, and modern day herbal medicine still uses Lemon Balm for it's anti-depressant qualities. It helps to ease insomnia and restlessness, and truly helps promote relaxation within the body and mind. The essential oils contained in this herb are useful to alleviate stress, anxiety and tension. Such calming qualities in Lemon Balm enhance its action as a digestive tonic, and it is used for all types of digestive upsets.
